A reporter talked to students at other elite East Coast colleges who echoed the same back-to-the-future sentiment: Work is but a way-station; a woman's place is in the home. The young women think they're doing the right thing for their eventual children, having watched too many of their moms' generation try to juggle career and family

1992 Los Angeles riots Latasha Harlins shooting Acrimony between Koreans and blacks peaked in a video documented incident involving a 49 year old Korean woman, Soon Ja Du, shooting Latasha Harlins, a 15 year old African-American girl. The incident occurred on March 16, 1991, which shortly followed the Rodney King beating. Du confronted Harlins over a $1.79 bottle of orange juice sticking outside of her backpack. The security video recording of the incident shows Du initiating physical contact by tugging at Harlins' sweater during a verbal exchange before Harlins countered by punching her four times in the face, hard enough to knock her to the floor. Du responded by throwing a stool at Harlins. As Harlins walked away, Du fatally shot her in the back of her head. The black community was outraged when Du was ultimately convicted of only voluntary manslaughter and on November 15, 1991, was sentenced to just 5 years probation, 400 hours of community service, and a $500 fine.

Lawrence terrified of 'godfather' Chan Accused Bali Nine heroin mule Renae Lawrence says she is still terrified of alleged 'godfather' Andrew Chan because he had bragged about having Australian police on his payroll. Testifying at the trial of co-accused Scott Rush, the Newcastle woman said she was avoiding Chan behind the walls of Bali's Kerobokan prison for fear he would try to intimidate her. Lawrence is the only woman among the nine, who all face a maximum penalty of death if convicted on heroin trafficking charges.
Earlier, she told the court Chan had boasted of having an international network when he threatened the lives of her relatives and friends. Chan, formerly her boss at a Sydney catering company, issued these threats several times when ordering her to book a "holiday" to Bali in April this year, Lawrence said.

Su Chung of Los Angeles led authorities on a chase beginning at Third Street and Kingsley Drive at 11:35 a.m., ending about 15 minutes later *near Second Street and Vermont Avenue, said Los Angeles police Officer April Harding of the Media Relations office.
Chung allegedly eluded officers yesterday after leading them on a chase yesterday afternoon from the downtown Los Angeles area to La Canada Flintridge, Harding said. Police had tried to stop the motorist around 3:15 p.m. yesterday after determining the 1999 white Nissan Maxima he was driving had been stolen, LAPD Officer Ted Aguirre said earlier. A car chase ended with a foot pursuit at Foothill Boulevard and Indiana Avenue in La Canada Flintridge, where Chung disappeared down a storm drain that had multiple exits, Aguirre said.
ICE/CTU Operation Gilded Cage: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was established in March 2003 as the largest investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security.

The indictment also charges that Young Joon Yang owned and operated YJY Travel and Tour, and used it to purchase airline tickets for interstate travel for prostitutes working at various brothels in San Francisco. Airline tickets to or from San Francisco, Oakland, Las Vegas, Dallas, New York, and Boston were allegedly purchased for Korean-speaking females in connection with this alleged conspiracy. in order to conceal and disguise the proceeds of alien harboring and interstate transportation for prostitution, Young Joon Yang, Hang Joe Yoon, Myong Su Ahn, and Nam Young Lee used various individuals to transfer the proceeds of the unlawful activity from the United States to Korea. Separate arrests were made by CTU Los Angeles last night in connection with an alleged human smuggling scheme. Twenty-three individuals were charged by complaint with conspiracy. The complaint alleges three objects to the conspiracy; harboring illegal aliens for an immoral purpose (prostitution); harboring and transporting illegal aliens; and violating the Travel Act, a federal statute that prohibits moving people across state lines for illegal sexual purposes, such as prostitution.

A Japanese diplomat who committed suicide in May 2004 was being blackmailed to provide key intelligence to China, Japanese media reports say. The unnamed engineer, in charge of communications for Japan's Shanghai consulate, left suicide notes saying he had been threatened by a Chinese man.
The threats concerned his relationship with a karaoke hostess, reports said.
http://japundit.com/archives/2005/12/29/1777 History, or rather the presentation of history, is a key issue in the relationship between Japan and the rest of Asia. Many feel that Japan has not seriously owned up to its past misdeeds while at the same time adding salt to the wound by putting forth history textbooks that gloss over some of these past horrendous actions. It doesn’t help matters either with politicians such as Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi making official visits to Yasakuni Shrine, the Shinto shrine which contains the spirits of Japanese war dead including noted war criminals.

China's Foreign Ministry Wednesday demanded that the U.S. lift the sanctions immediately. The ministry said the U.S. actions will not benefit the two countries' cooperation in anti-proliferation efforts. The year-long sanctions announced Tuesday block the firms from doing business with the U.S. government or obtaining American high-tech products. The State Department says the restrictions are an effective tool in blocking Iran from developing missiles and weapons of mass destruction. The six Chinese companies are a missile exporter known as Norinco, the chemical equipment group Zibo Chemet Co., China Aero-Technology Import-Export Corp., Hongdu Aviation Industry Group, Ounion International Economic and Technical Cooperative Ltd., and Limmt Metallurgy and Minerals Co.

What I am presenting is the strongly and widely-held OPINION that the textbooks gloss over past atrocities.
What seems to escape some people here is that my having read or not read those text books has very little to do with that statement.

かなり古いネタだけど、教科書ネタでもうひとつ見つけた。 http://www.japanmediareview.com/japan/stories/050601mcnicol/ South Korea was irritated again in early April when the Japanese government authorized eight controversial school textbooks that state a Japanese claim to the Dokto islands. China too was upset by the textbooks’ description of the Japan-controlled Senkaku islands (Diaoyu in China) as Japanese territory...
Most significantly, China and South Korea accuse the textbooks’ authors of glossing over Japan’s actions during World War II. The junior high school texts refer to the Nanjing massacre, in which up to 300,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians died, as an “incident.” The schoolbooks also neglect to mention the use of "comfort women" -- women from Asian countries forced to serve Japanese forces as sex slaves.
Although the textbooks have only been adopted by a tiny fraction of Japanese schools...

Japan strengthens defense of disputed islands TOKYO, Dec 31 (Reuters) - Japan is sending troops to train with U.S. forces and is developing new torpedos to boost the defence of remote islands, including some disputed isles in case China tries to take them over, a local daily said on Saturday. The report comes after Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso said this month that China's military build-up was a threat given its lack of transparency, triggering an angry retort from Beijing, which said his comments were "highly irresponsible". As part of efforts to strengthen its ability to defend remote islands, Japan will send some 125 Japanese ground troops to San Diego, California from Jan. 9-27 for joint training with U.S. Marines, the Nihon Keizai newspaper said. http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&ncl=http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite%3Fcid%3D1135696367735%26pagename%3DJPost%252FJPArticle%252FShowFull

Janet Lee's civil-rights lawsuit filed last week against city police seeks damages for pain and suffering, financial loss and emotional distress. Lee was arrested in 2003, held on $500 000 (about R3,1-million) bail and faced 20 years in prison on drug charges. Philadelphia International Airport screeners found three condoms filled with white powder in Lee's luggage as she was about to board a plane to LA. Lee told police they were filled with flour - a silly stress-relief contraption she and her classmates made as part of a freshman rite of passage.
Prostitution of science is using its good name for base purposes: falsifying data, and misinterpreting statistics to support a new theory, with the objective of gaining personal fame and fortune.
Recent publicity about such debased conduct should have two consequences: (1) people ought to become more skeptical about new scientific pronouncements, and, as they do, (2) they ought to become more aware that the supposedly sharp dichotomy between scientific certainty and metaphysical inquiry is simply an illusion.
koreans aren't FORCING the japanese to watch korean dramas or listen to korean music, unlike the japanese who FORCED koreans to speak japanese, change their names to japanese names, and killed them if they said anything negative towards the japanese empire in the past. just becuz now they feel a little competition from a nation that was once their colony... haha stop freakin crying and get over it becuz all of asia isn't worshipping japan.

反日ではないかもしれないけど、偏見に満ちたコラム。 The Japanese is a strange race that eat food at the risk of one's life. They eat the toxic fish that is called "Globefish" by large amount of money. The venomous snake that is called "Pit viper" is soaked to sake. It is the smell barrel and is terrific.
However, it is "Rice cake (Moti)" not to understand easily after all eaten at the New Year. This is food that kneads special rice and makes it, and indispensable food at the New Year of Japan. It sticks in one's gullet, and the suffocation death is done if it swallows carelessly because this food "Rice cake" has serious adhesive power. Every people actually block "Rice cake" in the throat every year and it is dead in Japan. There are perhaps a lot of numbers by not becoming the comparison , saying that "Globefish" and "Pit viper".
However, it is a traditional ceremony of Japan to eat this "Rice cake" at the risk of one's life in the morning of "New Year's Day (January 1)" at the New Year.
I : in knowing this ceremony. "True Japanese spirit (spirit of Camicazeatacc)" and "Chivalry (spirit of Harakiri)" were made for the Japanese to marvel sincerely when it was a familiar act because of the truth.

Gradually the fate of the survivors changed for the better. It was obvious to them that the Koreans intended to restrict their movements. From Jeju they were taken to the mainland and appropriated by the local ruler.

"Suki" Sullivan provided authorities their first break; she sued for divorce in June 1990, claiming an "extreme fear" of her husband. At her divorce trial that fall, she told a Palm Beach County jury that Sullivan had told her he had his former wife killed. "I thought I'd be next," she testified.

http://japundit.com/archives/2006/01/05/1819 Good comments, Duo! On the Emperor thread fiasco one poster rather naively called Yasakuni the equivalent of America’s Arlington. Such comments and visitations by the likes of Koizumi show a very poor way of dealing with the sensitivities of other nations.
I won’t say Yasakuni should be scrapped but Japan’s leaders have got to think more clearly of the country’s priotities. Clinging to a deadend past obstinate to others’ feelings is not the way to go.
Too much has been made of Yasakuni on both sides of the debate. There’s far more to Japanese history and culture that its present leaders can adhere to and admire rather than this century-and-a-half old shrine.
and when the nukes start flying at you, you might think perhaps visiting Yasakuni wasn’t such a bright idea after all.
Anything goes in war? Thats what the SS thought in WWII and that idea got many of them justly executed for massacring POWS and administering death camps.
True China and Korea do make harp on a bit to the point of overkill however Japan hasn’t exactly helped them get over it either.
But Koizumi does need to worry about Chinese and Korean sensitivities - not to do so would be an idiotic gesture of economic suicide.

Plus, most of friends don't like korean series, which they think is to long and don't have any content..... We still prefer series made by CCTV.... There is no comparison.... Just because we watch 1 Korean series out of 100 a year doesn't mean Korean series dominate.... Not a single korean movie made any splashes the way Chinese movies and chinese directors, chinese actors have..... There is simply no comparison as far as cultural influence goes....
The only area you are making splashes is in electronics and ship-building....that's all about it and it has nothing to do with your culture....
Dammed and dying: The Mekong and its communities face a bleak future
One of the world's greatest rivers has been reduced to a trickle in places by a series of giant Chinese dams and engineering works which are threatening the livelihoods of up to 100 million people in south-east Asia. A body representing four downstream governments reported yesterday that the Mekong was at its lowest recorded level, flowing "close to rock bottom" near the end of a 3,000 mile journey that takes it from the Tibetan plateau, through China's Yunnan province, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.

SEOUL (Reuters) - A South Korean man was in critical condition after setting himself on fire on Wednesday in a courtroom where he was sentenced to a $300 (171 pounds) fine for disturbing the peace, a court official and an emergency room physician said.
The district court in Uijongbu north of Seoul had just upheld a fine he received in 2004 for causing a disturbance at a mobile phone sales outlet where he was demanding a new phone number.
The man walked out of the courtroom after the sentence, doused himself with heating oil, came back to the courtroom and set himself on fire, the court official said by telephone.

In US slang, "kimchi" is occasionally used as a euphemism for the word "shit" in the metaphorical sense of "trouble, difficulties". The most common usage is the phrase "in deep kimchi." This usage is well known, especially among US military personnel, many of whom have been stationed in South Korea. Kimchi tastes and smells like shit (like all Korean food). As a result, some people say 'in deep kimchi' instead of 'in deep shit'.
間に入った同胞が客と会社を騙してるし、英語が全く理解出来ない自分達も悪いのに、ファピョッて、「謝罪と賠償をするニダ!」攻撃 Contracts in English did not include features promised by Korean-speaking salesman, group says. For years, Oakdale Memorial Park in Glendora actively sought the business of Korean immigrants who fought with Americans in the Korean and Vietnam wars. Hundreds bought plots there, the veterans said, on the promise of a Korean soldiers memorial and a special section of the park devoted to them. In a suit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday, a group of 15 veterans and two relatives of deceased veterans, who primarily speak Korean, allege that a Korean-speaking representative of the park lied to them. The suit charges that the pitch the Oakdale representative, Jin Heung Kim, gave the veterans in Korean is different from the English in the contracts. While Oakdale's salesman and materials spoke of a special memorial and burial site for the veterans, according to the lawsuit, the English-language contract makes no mention of them and does not specify that the veterans would all be laid to rest in one dedicated area. Julie A. Su of the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, a nonprofit group that helped the veterans file their suit, alleges that the cemetery took advantage of the fact that most of the buyers did not speak much English. The suit comes amid a greater focus by authorities on possible fraud targeting Asians who do not speak English. Last year, an Alhambra Toyota dealer settled a suit filed by Asian Pacific American Legal Center after Chinese-speaking customers said the English-language car contracts they signed were different than what the Chinese-speaking salesmen promised. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-koreans5jan05,1,7609132.story?coll=la-headlines-california

He brought the family to Canada as refugees B.C. town fights to block Korean family's deportation Residents of a northern B.C. town are fighting to stop federal officials from deporting the family of a dying South Korean man who says gangsters will sell his daughters into prostitution to settle a debt. Kyu Man Jeong, his wife and their two daughters have been living for a year in a donated trailer in Fort Nelson, a town of about 4,000 residents in the northeast corner of the province. He brought the family to Canada as refugees, saying that he owes money to Korean gangsters who have threatened to send his daughters to a brothel. Federal immigration officials denied the family's refugee application in July – and then Jeong found out that he was dying of cancer. I don't want to be a prostitute, daughter pleads tearfully The family left South Korea six years ago after Jeong served two years in a Seoul jail for his part in a kickback scheme that gave money to corrupt city officials. He still owes millions of dollars back home, the family says. "They told my mom that if you're not paying our money back, then we're going to send your two daughters to a whorehouse." The thought drew sobs from her sister, Houn A Jeong. "I have my own dreams and it's not to be a prostitute in Korea," she said in Korean. 南朝鮮じゃなくて、カナダで売りをしたいんだろ?wwwww http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/12/13/korea-deportation-051213.html
Paralyzed Boy Let Down by South Korean Stem Cell Fraud Hopes Founder on 'Big Lie' Scientific scandal has shattered the vow made by a South Korean veterinarian that cloned stem cells would help a paralyzed boy walk. Los Angeles Times By Barbara Demick January 9, 2006 In a lengthy and emotional interview in the basement of Neulsaerom Church in this beachfront community 18 miles southwest of downtown Seoul, Kim described how members of this otherwise ordinary family of modest means became unwitting participants in — and victims of — one of the biggest science scandals of all time. "Everyone was misled by Hwang. We worked with him under the belief that he was producing stem cells," said Kim, who smiled serenely through the wrenching account of his family's tragedy, saying their faith has allowed them to persevere. "We believe in God," he said, "not Hwang." The following year, doctors at Gil informed Kim that his son had been chosen from a group of paralyzed patients as a participant in Hwang's groundbreaking research into creating the first cloned human embryo for therapeutic purposes. "With this man's help, you will be able to go back to school," Kim recalled telling his son. The boy gave three skin samples taken under local anesthesia. His case appeared in a now-discredited paper published last May in the U.S.-based Science magazine in which Hwang claimed to have produced genetically matching stem cell lines from 11 patients. Hyeoni is the only one whose name has been made public. Hwang, who was fond of displaying a photo of himself and Hyeoni, told people that the boy would be the first in line when his research was sufficiently advanced for stem cells to be injected into a human patient.

Japanese house are not designed for cold and snow, japanese house are not designed for hot weather, japanese house are not designed for earthquakes (talking about those cardboard houses). Not for flooding, not for typhoon, not even for the attack of the NHK fee collecting people.
So what's the deal ? another matter of Japanese cultural sensibility that we Euro/americains can't understand because we are to primitive or uneducated to really important matters like tea cermony or how to wear a kimono on a rainy day ?
NOOOOO i forgot, it's just because Japanese are tougher and can sustain uncomfortable houses. Yes it's that...
My father's garage in France have more isolation and confort than my current flat...

One thing I've noticed in China is the incredible pimp network that has been established. I'm not talking about the barbershops that happen to be on every corner, or the fact that most hotels offer this special 'service' to their guests. It goes well beyond that. It maynot be overtly visible to the casualy observer but after sometime I think we all realize that it is there.

not terribly specific nor truly addressing the problem of such incidents of Nanking.
They do have have a direct memorial stone for the 2000 Koreans killed by lynch mobs following the 1923 Kanto Earthquake. Again this is for those people killed in Japan.
A shrine dedicated specifically for those killed in Nanking as well as perhaps in China, Korea, etc.. by the Japanese imperialist army of the WWII era would do a lot more to show acknowledgement of past crimes than some generic shrine.

"They're a strong, tough light infantry unit," Marine Lt. Col. Pete Owen said Thursday of the Japanese soldiers. "They're good guys to work with." The exercise comes at a time of rising tensions between China and Japan. Many Japanese defense planners have urged that the force be modernized beyond its post-World War II defensive role into more of a rapid-reaction force capable of projecting power to confront threats before they reach Japan's shores. The training will culminate in a 2 a.m. "assault" on a beach at Camp Pendleton with soldiers rushing ashore as if they are attacking an enemy. The Japanese soldiers are being trained in driving and navigating small landing craft and swimming through rough surf. An average day begins with a 4,300-yard run and six-mile swim. Officers are being taught how to organize an assault. The importance of defending the Ryukus has increased amid differences with China concerning control over undersea natural gas fields in the East China Sea. Reports in recent months that the Chinese have conducted exploratory drilling in waters that Japanese maps show as Japanese territory have sparked great unease in Tokyo. 動画↓ http://news.tbs.co.jp/asx/news3202292_12.asx http://news.tbs.co.jp/newseye/tbs_newseye3202292.html

Thirdly, in spite of the great threat of terrorism that is the great threat to us in the 21st century, we need to point out that U.S.-Germany relations cannot only rest on fighting terrorism, but we have common interests. We have, for example, competitors, such as China and other countries, who don't abide by any rule. And we would like to see the rules kept. And now we need to find a common basis, a common approach, even though we sometimes may be ourselves competitors in certain business fields, for example, where we vie for orders.

>>558>>560 Do you still have confidence in science? How much damage has been done to scientific research by South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk? South Korean researcher Hwang Woo-suk has apologised to the nation for his fraudulent claims that he had cloned human embryos. Hwang's team claimed to have created 30 human embryo clones and extracted stem cells from them. His papers describing his work were published by the highly reputable Science magazine, after they had been subjected to close scrutiny by other experts in the field. Has this destroyed your trust in scientists? How did Hwang get away with misleading people, including his peers, for so long? Is 'peer review' an effective way of scrutinising scientific research?

Ethics and fraud The trajectory of the Hwang scandal highlights the shortness of the path between unethical behaviour and outright misconduct. The fall of Woo Suk Hwang represents perhaps the highest-profile case in the sorry history of research misconduct. The sheer Shakespearian drama of the Korean cell biologist's eclipse, surrounded by fawning courtiers and plotting groups of acolytes and enemies and in full view of the television cameras, has left few researchers of any discipline, anywhere in the world, unaware of its circumstances.

>>566 A former Asiana Airlines employee who was indicted for violating the immigration law faced a fresh charge Monday for allegedly helping a Chinese woman enter Japan illegally at Narita airport last year, police said.
Min Sun Song, 38, is suspected of giving a security pass to the 27-year-old Chinese woman and leaking a password for the security gate on March 22 so the woman could enter Japan without going through immigration, the police said.
The South Korean suspect, who worked for his country's second largest airline from June 2004 and July 2005, was quoted as telling investigators that he had helped about 40 non-Japanese enter Japan illegally for a fee of about 200,000 yen each.
Police suspect a major smuggling group may be operating at the airport using official passes, and will conduct a thorough investigation, the newspaper said.
What do Caucasian people think of Asian? Reply to this message I'm a Asian girl from Japan. I had studied for one year in Australia, but I'm wondering about this topic. While I was in Aus, I didn't meet anyone who descriminated against me fortunately. However, in fact caucasian people don't like Asian people so much, right? How do you guys feel or think against Asian or Japanese? Actually there are a lot of xenophobic people(especially old generation) in Japan, because they misunderstand all Caucasian are violent. Although some of them have such a thinking, normally Japanese like Caucasian unless they are rude.

Japunditがバランスを取りに出たわけだが http://japundit.com/archives/2006/01/18/1885/#comments I always believed Koizumi’s trips to Yasukuni had more to do with internal party politics than personal principles - because he’s considered a progressive, he needs to compensate by appealing to the conservative base of the LDP.
While most Japanese oppose Koizuni’s visits, he needs the support of rural, right-wing LDP members.
I have mixed feelings about the Yasukuni visits. While I’m disgusted by what the temple represents - revisionist history, apologia for imperialism - the government has to honor those who sacrificed for the nation, whether the cause was just or not.
I wonder how much political capital it would take to create a new, secular memorial for the Japanese war dead?

Quake hit foreign community at its roots Ten years after the deadly earthquake, the structure of Kobe's traditional foreign community has changed, with fewer Westerners and a growing number of East Asians living in the port city. But few Westerners are moving in, and many long-term residents are leaving for Tokyo, China or elsewhere. At the same time, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Chinese and Korean residents, especially in private international schools, which were once the domain of Westerners. According to local foreign residents, the trend, which began in the 1980s, accelerated after the quake. The cause for the decline in the number of Westerners appears to be due less to the quake itself than to the policies of the local governments and business community afterward. As of last October, there were 44,449 registered foreigners living in Kobe. These included 23,755 Koreans, 12,203 Chinese, 1,109 Vietnamese and 1,067 Indians. By contrast, there were 1,245 Americans, 463 Britons and 245 Canadians. The frustration of long-term Western residents -- who had believed they were part of the local community -- began shortly after the earthquake, when the city of Kobe and Hyogo Prefecture began drawing up plans for the rebuilding that emphasized the city's international history. "Kobe and Hyogo Prefecture made huge mistakes in the months after the earthquake by ignoring the advice and offers of assistance of the Western community on how to rebuild in ways that would both keep foreigners who were already here and attract foreign investment," said a Tokyo-based Western diplomat who used to live in Kobe. "Decisions on how to build an 'international city' were made by bureaucrats behind closed doors with no consultation," he added. http://search.japantimes.co.jp/print/news/nn01-2005/nn20050119f1.htm
The culture of tea was so deeply identified with Buddhism that when Buddhism was replaced by Confucianism as the main official religious tradition at the end of the Koryo dynasty in the 14th century, the drinking of tea was repressed at the same time as most temples were destroyed.
Then in the 1590s the Japanese invaded Korea and forced hundreds of the best Korean potters to go and work in Japan.
Many of the finest bowls used in Japanese tea ceremonies were made in Korea or were produced by potters of Korean descent.
In Korea, the drinking of tea seems to have been introduced in the sixth or seventh centuries, probably by Buddhist monks returning from China, where the many schools of Buddhism attracted some of Korea's finest scholars. There are reports in the early chronicle-histories known as Samkuk-yusa and Samkuk-sagi that Queen Sondok of Silla (ruled 632-47) drank tea and that King Munmu in 661 ordered tea to be used during ceremonial offerings; King Sinmun advocated the use of tea in order to purify the mind, while King Heundok is reported to have obtained tea seeds from Tang China for planting in 828, but these may not have been the first.
6-7世紀に中国からの仏教僧がKoreaにお茶を紹介した。作法が歴史上記録されていのはSamkuk-yusa and Samkuk-sagiで、新羅の女王が茶を飲んだってこと やMunmu王が661年にセレモニーのためにお茶を用意させたってことやShimun王はお茶は精神を清めると主張したこと、828年にHeundok王は中国からお茶の 種を取り寄せたとあるが、たぶんこれは最初ではない。
In Japan the first record of brick tea being used dates from around 593, and the first planting of seeds is said to have occurred in 805. During the Korean Koryo Dynasty (in the 10th -13th centuries) tea was made the subject of some of Korea's oldest recorded poems. Tea was long offered in the ancestral ceremonies, which are still known as Ch'a-rye although tea has not been offered in them for centuries. Likewise there were regular ceremonies known as Hon-ta in which cups of green tea were offered before the statues of the Buddha in the temples.
The culture of tea was so deeply identified with Buddhism that when Buddhism was replaced by Confucianism as the main official religious tradition at the end of the Koryo dynasty in the 14th century, the drinking of tea was repressed at the same time as most temples were destroyed. Then in the 1590s the Japanese invaded Korea and forced hundreds of the best Korean potters to go and work in Japan. Many of the finest bowls used in Japanese tea ceremonies were made in Korea or were produced by potters of Korean descent.
For centuries during the Choson dynasty there are few signs of tea culture surviving in Korea; then in the early 19th century we find the great scholar Tasan, Chong Yak-yong (1762-1836), drinking tea in a formal way in a special tea-room during his exile in his mother's home near Kangjin, in the far south of the country. He presumably learned the method of making and drinking tea from monks at the temple next to his refuge near Kangjin.
In the first years of the 19th century, a young Buddhist monk, Ch'o Ui (1786-1866), visited him there, stayed several months and drank tea with him. The first great restorer of the Way of Tea in Korea, Ch'o Ui later built the hermitage known as Ilchi-am above the temple now called Taehung-sa near Haenam, in the far south of Korea, and lived there for many years, cultivating the Way of Tea in his own tea-room
Korean Swordsman Korea's first metal swords are described in writings from the Paekche dynasty (18 B.C.-A.D. 668), a ruling power in ancient Korea that had substantial contact with Japan. It was at that time, some scholars argue, that steel and bronze swords found their way from Korea to Japan to feed the island nation's thirst for metal fighting implements.
Over the centuries sword-making techniques were perfected in Korea, and many martial arts families passed the knowledge down from generation to generation.
Over the past year there have been several cases of English teachers caught importing or using marijuana from Canada, Korean students in Vancouver being used as drug mules and B.C. Bud making inroads in Vietnam‘s growing drug cultu In the city of Suwon, South Korea prosecutors are preparing for a huge court trial involving a drug smuggling ring that hired female Korean students in Vancouver to carry narcotics valued at over C$316.6 million.
The Suwon district attorney‘s office has so far booked 45 people and detained 18 of them on charges of trafficking in narcotics, including five students they say were running the drugs.
Prosecutors say the group since March 2004 approached Korean women studying English in Vancouver to sign them up as mules for its operation. The group offered to pay their airfare as well as W1.5 million (about C$1,826) each time they took small quantities of drugs to Australia, Japan and Korea.
[EDITORIAL] Japan easing visa rules http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=%5BEDITORIAL%5DJapan+easing+visa+rules&btnG=Search+News It is good news to hear that the Japanese government is moving to waive visa requirements for short stays by Korean visitors. Japan has enough reason to make the visa exemption for Koreans a permanent one. 在日60万じゃなかったの? 寄生虫が増殖してるよ!↓ Japan also has the world's third-largest Korean population, about 900,000, which again comes only after China and the United States with 2.43 million and 2.08 million, respectively. There may be some negative impact, such as a possible increase in the number of Koreans who exploit the new visa rules to stay in Japan illegally. The Korean Foreign Ministry says there are about 43,000 Koreans living in Japan in violation of its immigration laws. **One can easily imagine that the figure is probably a lot higher. Japan waived short-stay entry visas for Taiwanese last year. Taiwanese police estimate that about 10,000 Taiwanese women went to Japan last year alone to work in the sex industry. Given that Japan has long been one of the favorite destinations for Korean women who want to earn money regardless of the means, the governments in Seoul and Tokyo may well be advised to come up with measures to keep them from exploiting the new visa rules. It is worthy of note that the number of Koreans deported from Japan dropped to 7,700 in 2004 from 15,000 in 1999, but it should serve as a warning that women accounted for about 64 percent of the deportees. In addition, the number of Koreans involved in criminal activities, such as pickpocketing, is increasing steadily.

A major operation involving coast guard boats and airplanes led to the seizure of a North Korean-flagged ship Tania and the arrest of its seven crew members after it unloaded three trucks carrying contraband cigarettes, the Merchant Marine Ministry said yesterday.
The trucks were stopped in Halkidiki on Tuesday and authorities were immediately alerted to intercept the ship that had unloaded them after sailing from Romania.
Authorities believe that the Tania set ashore almost 2 million packs of contraband cigarettes on board the three trucks. The cigarettes are estimated to be worth some 4 million euros in lost tax revenues.
The prequel is also a way of linking show content and commerce -- in this case Toyota, which sponsors the show and the special DVD segment.
The idea for the prequel originated with Toyota and Fox marketers, who wanted to create a segment that would showcase Toyota's cars. Like most writers, who cringe at ideas inspired by the promotional machine, executive producer Howard Gordon says he wasn't in favor of it at first.
There's a typical car chase in the prequel, but instead of driving a macho SUV, Bauer is behind the wheel of a silver Toyota Avalon, which beats a BMW. His colleague Chloe, who meets him clandestinely, shows up in a blue Toyota Prius.

Like many newcomers espescially think when they spend a course of time in Japan learning culture and such (and they get the idea that they too are samurai: I myself included) that this spirit still lives on. I lived there for 3 years and did not know that the profession was no longer. But maybe the spirit is still very real.
OH Oh I got it why dont we just make a new one? New aged samurai.
I am a Caucasian, USA citizen, somewhat overweight, and I have visited Japan many times. I have been to many spas there, large and small, and was never refused admittance because I was a foreigner.

An unemployed South Korean sushi chef was accused Saturday of stabbing his teenage stepdaughter to death with a butcher knife after she refused to let him into the family's suburban Chicago apartment. Jong B. Lee, 41, was charged with first-degree murder on Friday. Lee apparently became upset when he found the door to his Northfield Township home locked early Friday morning after a dispute with his wife and 15-year-old stepdaughter, Won Hye Weon, authorities said. When Weon denied Lee entry into the apartment, he kicked in a door, grabbed a butcher knife and stabbed the girl to death, Cook County sheriff's officials said. Weon, a sophomore at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, was found by officers lying on the floor with multiple stab wounds, Cook County Sheriff Michael F. Sheahan said. Lee, a South Korean immigrant, was arrested at the apartment. His wife told police Lee was an unemployed sushi chef, said Penny Mayteck, a spokeswoman for the Cook County sheriff's department.
In a Country That Craved Respect, Stem Cell Scientist Rode a Wave of Korean Pride By NORIMITSU ONISHI
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/22/science/22clone.html いきなり出だしがこれだよ、やっぱチョンは関係無くても無理矢理日本叩きを入れないと気が済まないんだろ? まーこいつは、自分の記事の地図で「日本海」表記しか出来なかったのが相当悔しいんだろね? SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 20 - After first gaining attention in South Korea for cloning a cow in 1999, Dr. Hwang Woo Suk, the fallen stem-cell scientist, promised to clone next an animal with deeper meaning to Koreans: a tiger. South Korean children rallied Saturday in support of Dr. Hwang Woo Suk, the disgraced stem-cell researcher, in Seoul, next to a portrait of him. A holy animal according to Korean lore, tigers once populated the peninsula but were hunted to virtual extinction during Japanese colonial rule.
South Korea's sense of rivalry with Japan, its former colonial power, and its fixation with elevating its position in the world.
As his research imploded in recent weeks, Dr. Hwang grasped at the same kind of nationalistic sentiments that had propelled him to stardom. He said he would keep "fighting in a white robe," a reference to Yi Sun Shin, the naval commander who repelled a Japanese invasion in the 16th century and saved Korea.
A jury trial scheduled for Monday has been postponed until March for a Corning woman and her husband accused of shoplifting at Wegmans in Corning. The trial is now to begin 10 a.m. March 27 in Corning City Court for Mee Jo and her husband, Sughe Jo, of West Fifth Street.
The case has been pending since Oct. 26, 2004, when the couple had been arrested and charged with shoplifting about $70 worth of items at Wegmans. Mee Jo is charged with petit larceny and sixth-degree conspiracy. Sughe Jo faces the same charges, plus resisting arrest. Mee Jo has maintained she and her husband were falsely accused.
Until now, the couple had been representing themselves in court without a lawyer. Sughe Jo testified Thursday that he could not find a suitable lawyer in the Corning area. He had hired an attorney but let him go because he was not representing his interests, he said.
The translator was provided by teleconferencing Thursday for Sughe Jo, who speaks Korean. Mee Jo speaks Korean and English.

これか!? veroah Laughing in Public - 12/30/2004 5:57:17 PM So after spending the morning in Tsukiji, I was in Ginza for the rest of the day with my brother, and my brother was telling me a funny story about how he was an MC for a TV show about a Japanese/Korean high school joint activity, where two classes went on a vacation together and had become "buddies". So my brother was polite about it and asking "nice" questions, but the director wanted to see more Jerry Springer-style action, so my brother asked them more provocative questions like "don't you think it's evil to get conscripted and serve your military?", "do you think the history they taught you in school is true?", or "my British vegan friend thinks that North Korea and South Korea are all part of one fascist system," and the pimply kids got all worked up and red in the face.

I don't like the idea of cop cars not being domestics in the US. Brandon
Exactly. Japanese cop cars are an outrage and a direct effect of allowing illegal immigrants to cross into our borders. It is these socialist states like California which grant health care benefits to illegals, and now allow workmans' comp to these illegal immigrants. Not only that, but if you WANT TO LIVE IN AMERICA, SPEAK ENGLISH! Anyone who supports this idea is a cold-blooded communist. Hillary would be honored for you to vote yes for this.
Canada Shifts to Right in Election The Conservative Party ends 13 years of Liberal dominance, but fails to win a majority.

Ending a barbarity against black bears By GLYN FORD Last month the cruel practice of farming Asiatic black bears for their bile was put firmly on the global agenda as 377 members of the European Parliament -- more than half the EP membership -- signed a written declaration calling on China to ban this barbarity. The industry started in the early 1980s when entrepreneurs imported the technology from North Korea and received permission to farm, principally in neighboring Jilin Province. It's more of a Korean thing, and initially much of the production was exported to Japan and Korea. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/geted.pl5?eo20060124a2.htm

It's an approach that offers foreign readers a peek into Japan noir that isn't evident in "official" news coverage, which tends to focus on bad diplomatic relations with China, arguments over wartime history and the accelerating moves to end the country's constitutional pacifism.

By Elaine Meinel Supkis In response to Korean and Chinese trading/manufacturing competition, the right wing in Japan has escalated their war mongering and attacks on Asians, for example, blaming Korea and China for WWII. Meanwhile, Japanese women refuse to both marry or have babies and the population faces extinction.
yellowpeep said... First of all, don't trust the article written by Norimitsu Onishi workinga at NY times. He is the one who wants to foment people. If you carefully look into the news around Japan, you'll find many of them are exaggerated by him. Second, good blog. But please be easy on Japan. Saturday, December 31, 2005
Anonymous said... please be easy on japan?? if you look through all the crap the japanese have done to the world, then you wouldn't be saying that. google unit 731. also, try to understand that they are making the chinese and koreans inferior and practically brainwashing the youth into hating these countries through popular mangas. exaggeration or not, japan is corrupt and they are digging themselves into a deeper hole. they are so desperate that they have to depend on media to support their "nationalism."

And Japan's nationalism is much less than nationalism in those totalitarianism countries.
Japan has been peaceful country since 1945, they are helping so many developing countries while China is invading Tibet, Vietnam, Mongol, Soviet, Philippines, Bhutan,etc.

http://v2n22.weekenderjapan.com/index.php?node=21 Being A Broad (BAB), the Tokyo-based foreign women's support organization saw the need for a safe and fun way for its members to meet potential dates. Laura Coulter, the main organizer, says that "organizing and running a speed dating event is the perfect way to meet people in a city where time is always short." This event is not the first of its kind in the foreign community in Japan, or indeed the Japanese community but it is the only one to cater for foreign women living and working in Tokyo. There are a plethora of other events whose main audience is Japanese women and foreign men, but BAB saw a shortage of singles events for foreign women.

何だこいつら、こんな記事書いてんぞ, Morley Robertson For a full week, the mega-bulletin "2 channel" was in a frenzy, what users call a "festival" (matsuri). Tens of thousands of postings were entered. Most postings were filled with epithets or base humor, but there were occasional gems of background information that could not be obtained through mainstream media. Certain obscure blogs and PDF documents discussing esoteric techniques of fraudulent accounting received "prime time" coverage within the discussion threads. Most celebrities would not welcome attention from this mega-bulletin because of its slanderous nature. But Livedoor had entered a kind of symbiosis with the 2 channel users. Many on 2 channel would criticize Masayoshi Song of Softbank, Inc. for being a "non Japanese" (zainichi Korean), while a surprising number of "2 channel" posts about Livedoor seemed sympathetic. In fact, Livedoor's portal leased the bulletin architecture from "2 channel," so that bulletins within Livedoor resembled "2 channel" threads. Perhaps Horie-mon was a "2 channel" icon. Even as he fell, he was taking the Tokyo Stock Exchange with him. The sheer volume of 2 channel postings about Livedoor was noticed by mainstream news media. When television or newspapers covered 2 channel, this would speed up the rate of postings. The rapidly growing threads reminded one of Livedoor's growth model, where stock prices and media coverage fanned each other. This festival reached its climax at the moment of Horie's arrest. "2 channelers" seemed overjoyed that their hero had gone up in flames. Innumerous "ASCII art" postings expressed a sense of elation, as if witnessing a historic moment. http://english.ohmynews.com/articleview/article_view.asp?no=271263&rel_no=1

Reporters Without Border: JAPAN Harassment and obstruction: The British daily The Guardian revealed on 24 January 2003 that sports journalist Fred Varcoe was unfairly dismissed by the daily Japan Times on 4 July 2002 as a result of pressure from the South Korean authorities.
The South Korean website OhmyNews launched a campaign against Varcoe after he alluded to Seoul prostitutes in a story a few weeks before the start of the football world cup.
Varcoe’s wife, a South Korean national, received death threats by e-mail. South Korean diplomats went to the headquarters of the Japan Times twice to demand sanctions against Varcoe. Among the reasons the newspaper gave for firing him was "insulting the honour of Korean women." Varcoe filed a complaint against the newspaper’s management, which failed to stand up to the South Korean government’s pressure.
